Chassis 

Features

The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC809T-780B 1U 

chassis. Details on the chassis can be found in Chapter 6.

System Power

When confi gured as a SuperServer 1025TC-T/1025TC-10G, the SC809T-780B 

includes a single 780W cold-swap power supply, which provides the power to both 

serverboards housed in the chassis.

SATA Subsystem

The SC809T-780B chassis was designed to support eight SATA hard drives, which 

are hot-swappable units.

Control Panel

The SC809T-780B features two independant control panels associated with each 

serverboard in the chassis. Each control panel has LEDs to indicate power on, net-

work activity, hard disk drive activity and system overheat conditions. Each control 

panel also includes a main power button and a system reset button. 

Rear I/O Panel

The SC809T-780B is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides a slots for two 

low-profi le PCI-E x16 expansion cards, two COM ports, four USB ports, two VGA 

ports and four Gb Ethernet ports. The 1025TC-10G also provides two 10 Gigabit 

Ethernet ports. See Chapter 6 for details.

Cooling System

The SC809T-780B chassis has an innovative cooling design that features two sets 

of triple (for a total of six) 4-cm high-performance PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) 

fans. A fan speed control setting in BIOS allows fan speed to be determined by 

system temperature.
